The Central Ohio Solid Waste Management Authority said its recycling center has been in operation for one year. The center collected about 190,000 pounds of recyclables, which is equivalent to 95 tons of recyclable resources being removed from landfills.

The recycling facility located on Jackson Pike in southern Columbus is different from ordinary curbside recycling points. People can drop off items that are considered difficult to recycle, such as batteries, scrap metal, paint and polystyrene foam. A partner company provides foam recycling solution for SWACO Recycling Center. The company receives waste EPS and compacts it into blocks through EPS densifier, which can be sold to downstream recyclers.

Downstream recycling companies will recycle EPS into bricks and other building materials, which can be used to make terrace roofs or even house roofs. In addition to bricks and building materials, EPS can also be reprocessed into a variety of products such as attractive wall panels, house skirtings, photo frames, flower pots, etc. Foam recycling solution involves a variety of application scenarios and industries, including automobiles, packaging, building materials, medical care, etc.

INTCO Recycling can provide professional foam recycling solution for companies with recycling needs, mainly through mechanical recycling equipment, including EPS densifiers and foam granulators. For companies that are new to EPS recycling, INTCO Recycling recommends that you invest in a foam densifier. This is a recycling equipment that achieves volume reduction through high-temperature hot melting technology.

Compared with the cold-press compactor and hydraulic-press compactor on the market, this EPS melting machine has firmly occupied a large share of the market due to its optimal compaction ratio of 90:1. Additionally, the EPS densifier has a high degree of automation and is very easy to operate, and the requirements for workers are much lower than those of machines such as cold-press compactors. The work of this EPS recycling machine can be carried out by just pressing the start/pause button and the temperature adjustment button. Moreover, the staff also needs to perform tasks such as feeding and winding materials, and even a temporary worker who has no knowledge of machinery can quickly get started.

EPS densifier is one of the best foam recycling solutions for enterprises due to its simple operation and high compaction ratio. However, in addition to the above advantages, the pungent smell produced by EPS densifier during operation is unacceptable to many customers. EPS is a thermoplastic material that releases volatile organic compounds at high temperatures, forming a pungent smell.

INTCO Recycling's EPS densifier can produce an SGS odor test report to ensure that the odor produced will not have any negative impact on the human body and the environment. Additionally, we can install a double-layer exhaust system and filtering equipment, such as activated carbon filters, on the machine to completely discharge the gas to the outside and reduce the generation of odor.

If you have other recycling requirements, INTCO Recycling can customize a foam recycling solution for you. If you are interested in foam recycling or EPS densifier, please leave a message.
